$ Roadtrip Expense Report $
How much did this trip cost me?
If you’re anything like me, you check your bank’s app every day. If you’re anything like me, it hurts to pull your credit card from your wallet and tap it against a screen. If you’re anything like me, you track everything you spend down to the penny (see what I did there?!). Even if you’re nothing like me (which, by the way, congratulations), you might be interested in the following: an expense report from my roadtrip.
Many of the reasons I decided to drive instead of fly home were because of how much cheaper I anticipated it being. Moving is no cheap endeavor, yet I figured I could probably save a little money if I didn’t fly.
And I was right.
As seen above, I was expecting saving just under one thousand dollars if I were to drive instead of fly. Plus with the few of you who signed up as monthly subscribers, I almost made a profit with the roadtrip. Heavy emphasis on the word almost.
I was very lucky because of the generosity of family and friends who let Cameron and I sleepover during our journey. I only paid for one night in a hotel at a Super 8 in Tucumcari, New Mexico. I am also very lucky because we ended up driving through the part of the United States where the gas prices aren’t sickening. At its cheapest, we found gas for 2.18 a gallon. Too bad I didn’t have large fuel containers to bring home with me.
Overall, I ended up saving even more money because of the low gas prices and because our favorite stops were McDonald’s and Arby’s. In total, I spent 782.48 dollars. Costly, but not bad considering I literally traveled from one end of the country to another. Need I remind you:
782.48 dollars. If 195 more of you become paid monthly subscribers, I would break even. Here, I’ll make it easy:
Just kidding! Kind of.
More to come from this trip soon!
Until next time,
